I owned one for a long time and have been in quite a few variations over the years. I've even been hustled around a race track in one, piloted by one of the drivers on Porsche's payroll.
Very comfortable car and also very fast, with a 4 cam motor. The five speeds are great and the automatics are better than you'd think. The Euro S model with the 300 hp, two cam motor and better transmission ratios than the US got was a high water mark. I'd be interested in one of those, even today.
You felt the weight a little more than you did in a 911 but they could be hustled down a good road at a pace that would make a 3.2 Carrera owner need new underwear.
I once had a friend (a modified 944 turbo owner) come up to me after a PCA drive and he was really perplexed at how I could leave him for dead any time I wanted to, in what he thought was the slowest car in the Porsche line-up. He was not pleased...
The new one looks great, I wouldn't change a thing. I'd much rather have one of those than a Panamera. If Porche didn't want a gazillion dollars for one (they will) I'd be tempted.
